I'm not touching the engine, but I am looking for a tranny core to rebuild myself, or biting the bullet and paying someone to rebuild mine. I kinda want to find out just how long it will go. There is nothing wrong with the tranny at the moment.

I really think the more you beat on a motor the longer it will last, given that is you still take care of it. Every car I have ever owned got the crap drove out of them but I always took good care of them. But most of the engines Ive ran hard ddnt even have a chance for the oil to get dirty before it got a fresh change, & rarley saw temps over 165.
My last Baby was a 92 Camaro RS, went through three different trannies behind it (& it was a 305 to boot) sold the engine with just a bit under 200,000 on it to a freind who beat the heck out of it for another year before another guy got ahold of it & ran it with no oil a spun the mains.
